Heartrend Pipa Phantom Blade Zero Guide: Stats and Location

Heartrend Pipa Stats and Sonic Blade Effects

The Heartrend Pipa is an Artifice-type Phantom Edge with 276 starting damage and 234 guard break, as IGN lists. For Heartrend Pipa Phantom Blade Zero players, the Active Ability fires Blue Sonic Blades that inflict Sha-Chi Depletion and Red Sonic Blades that deal increased damage and ignore Damage Reduction. The same weapon is listed under Village of Lu Phantom Edges, which ties its unlock to that region.

Repeatedly using the Pipa launches two Blue Sonic Blades followed by one Red Sonic Blade, and the sequence costs one Sha-Chi pip. The base stats and the Active Ability are the two parts to read together, because the 276 starting damage and 234 guard break sit beside the Sha-Chi Depletion and Damage Reduction effects.

How to Get Heartrend Pipa

The Heartrend Pipa is obtained by defeating Yuzan, No. 3 Musician Puppet, in the caves beneath the well at the Village of Lu. AllThings gives that location for the unlock, and IGN names Yuzan, No. 3 Musician Puppet, as the required boss. The steps below keep the unlock condition and the route in order.

• Travel to the Village of Lu and find the well; the boss fight is in the caves beneath it. Use the Village of Lu page if you need the area context.
• Defeat Yuzan, No. 3 Musician Puppet in those caves. The Heartrend Pipa is unlocked by defeating Yuzan.
• Take the Heartrend Pipa from the fallen foe. Phantom Edges are wrested from the hands of fallen foes, as the Steam store page describes.

Heartrend Pipa Location in the Village of Lu

The Heartrend Pipa location is the caves beneath the well at the Village of Lu, where Yuzan, No. 3 Musician Puppet, waits. The Village of Lu Region is the broader area named by Game8, while the caves beneath the well are the specific route given by AllThings. Both details point to the same boss unlock.

Using the Heartrend Pipa Against Guarding Enemies

The Heartrend Pipa is a Phantom Edge that fires sonic projectiles from range and can help against enemies that guard. the Exputer fan site describes it as a secondary Phantom Edge that attacks with sonic projectiles. The weapon's Active Ability supports that ranged role with Blue Sonic Blades for Sha-Chi Depletion and Red Sonic Blades for increased damage that ignores Damage Reduction.

Soul Tempering with Myst grants Illusory Pipa, which can dispel Phantom Barriers and control weaker enemies. The Illusory Pipa page covers that separate Phantom Edge. The Heartrend Pipa remains the Sonic Blade option for ranged pressure against guards, while Illusory Pipa handles barrier removal and weaker enemies. That split gives the two Phantom Edges different jobs when a fight puts guards or barriers in front of you.

Our take on the Heartrend Pipa Phantom Edge

Our take on the Heartrend Pipa is that the unlock is simple to remember: Yuzan, No. 3 Musician Puppet, in the caves beneath the well at the Village of Lu. The stats also make the role clear, with 276 starting damage and 234 guard break backing a Sonic Blade ability that splits into Sha-Chi Depletion and damage that ignores Damage Reduction. The weapon sits under Village of Lu Phantom Edges, so the location and the boss are the two details to keep together.

A player should watch for the difference between the two blade colors when using the Active Ability. Blue Sonic Blades apply Sha-Chi Depletion, while Red Sonic Blades are the increased-damage option that ignores Damage Reduction. Repeated use launches two Blue Sonic Blades followed by one Red Sonic Blade and costs one Sha-Chi pip, so the pattern is part of the weapon's identity.

Phantom Blade Zero is an action RPG developed by S-GAME Studio and published by S-GAME Publishing. The Steam store page lists a 28 Oct, 2026 release date and a S$69.90 price for the game. Those store details sit in the background of this weapon guide, while the Heartrend Pipa unlock remains Yuzan in the Village of Lu caves.
